| First reference: | Fallout |
Based on a prophetic painting by Isaac Mendez, Hiro Nakamura is expected to face a large, carnivorous Tyrannosaurus rex sometime in the future. The Tyrannosaurus rex is a species of dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Cretaceous Period (approximately 65 million years ago). Commonly abbreviated to T. rex, it is one of the dinosaurs most often featured in popular culture around the world.
About
Fallout
A painting by Isaac Mendez depicts a dinosaur that resembles a T. rex attacking a sword-wielding Hiro Nakamura. Seeing, the painting, Hiro worries that by traveling back so far in time, he might inadvertently change the future, while Ando wisely points out that he has a bigger problem to worry about.
Godsend
While at the Museum of Natural History, Hiro watches a short documentary about the Tyrannosaurus rex. When the large meat-eating dinosaur devours a smaller animal, Hiro tells the animated dinner to look out. The documentarian says, "If we could go back in time, there's no telling what wonders we'd find." Hiro replies, "I wish." Later, after Hiro steals the fake sword, he encounters a large-scale model of a dinosaur. He practices his samurai moves in front of the phony creature, echoing Isaac's prophetic painting.
Notes
- The only dinosaur whose species has been named is the Tyrannosaurus rex in a documentary at the Museum of Natural History (Fallout). However, there is a good possibility that the dinosaur in Isaac's painting is not a T. rex. Likewise, the dinosaur in front of which Hiro stands may not be a Tyrannosaurus either. Some believe these two dinosaurs look like the species Carnotaurus.
